She's Bringing Sexy/Back. Yeah.
|
 That is a picture of Madonna and Justin Timberlake leaving the same London recording studio after their first day of recording together this week. Liz Rosenberg - everyone's favourite celebrity publicist - confirmed last night that the Queen of Pop was working with Justin & Timbaland on her upcoming album.
Rosenberg also claimed that their was no firm release date penned in yet, though most reports are predicting it to be sometime around November, much like the Confessions release in 2005.
According to the worlds most unreliable UK Newspaper, The Sun, the album will be quite eclectic and have a "hip hop" feel, however dancey songs produced by living, breathing god Stuart Price and Felix Da Housecat will also appear, with some apparent people "in the know" claiming it'll be her most ambitious project yet.
Roll on November...
Meanwhile, environmentalists around the world are slamming Madonna for being a hypocrite by partaking in the Live Earth event. John Buckley - a professional hippy - has claimed that "It's great for the celebrities to come out and support the cause, but they then have to follow it up in their own lifestyles. We should now keep a close eye on whether Madonna and the others makes any changes to their own lifestyle. Perhaps her next world tour will be performed in one venue, but broadcast to billions over the internet"... ERM. WHAT? Unfuckingbelievable. Dare I say it, but the uproar caused by a mass of Madonna fans around the world not receiving a visit on a world tour would probably escalate to a much bigger level than the problem of gas emissions being released from her tour jets. Could you just IMAGINE?

More Madge Album News
|
 In a Valentines Day interview with Sirius Radio, Madonna has confirmed collaborating with Pharrel Williams. Oh yes. You can hear the woman say so herself - along with using the word "whack" (plus talk of how good she thinks the Gnarls Barkley and Justin Timberlake albums are) by popping over to this spot on the Internet.
To be completely honest, this would have to be the best Interview I've heard Madonna give in years. It probably helps that the Interviewer was an actual fan, one who was able to draw his own personal experiences into the chat. She sounded incredibly comfortable through out, even when it was suggested that if she were a vegetable, that it would be broccoli. No mention of Stuart Price's involvement on the upcoming album, but one can only hope he'll be partaking in some sort of final tweekage of the whole thing. I couldn't live with the idea of Madonna working with Pharrel and Stuart not glossing over the work.
Meanwhile, Rufus Wainright has added some fuel to the media fire he burns for Madonna by calling her a "false idol" for French Magazine Tetu. A couple of months earlier he said Mo's Confessions Tour was "dark and humourless", further claiming that she "surpasses even Joan Crawford in terms of megalomania." Good for you mate.

UPDATE: Madonna in 2007
|
 According to madonnalicious.com, Stuart Price (pictured, right, with God) - during an interview with NME.COM - announced details of the upcoming Madonna album. The album will have a "new sound", and both Madge & Stuart have been working with "top producers that are very in fashion right now".
He also added the album will be released this year.
Datarock? Vitalic? What kind of sound do you think she'll go for? I'm guessing a dancey-electro-rock, which would sit perfectly with producers like Datarock & Vitalic.
Should be a bloody good year by the sounds of things...
Hrmmm. Several other websites have reported similar stories, except from different sources. One site has claimed Stuart made the announcement on E! Television, whilst another says he made the announcement in the Daily Telegraph. Of course, none of the supposed sources have any online links, so something tells me it's all bullshit.
There's also the new report that Madge is working with PharrellWilliams (who does not deserve the bolding of his name thank you very much), which repulses me beyond belief. Something tells me this isn't true either, but god help us all if it is, I'm not sure even Madonna could make anything Pharrell touches worth listening to. They're also claiming Stuart will not be the main producer, which I think is also complete bullshit. She'd be absolutely bonkers not to use him heavily on the next album again, and I really don't think she's silly enough not to.
In the lead up to the "Confessions" album, you may remember news leaks "from Warner", claiming the album was to be called "Defying Gravity" and would be rock influenced. Then we got a record called "Confessions On A Dancefloor" that was all club stuff. What this all looks like is either a clever set of lies leaked by people with a bit of time on their hands at the Madonna Camp, or - and this is more than likely the case - fans who've nothing better to do than stir up shit on various forums.
Liz Rosenberg... can we have some kind of confirmation that Madonna wouldn't work with Williams in a million years? Has she not heard the "new" Gwen Stefani album, or, you know, anything Pharrell has done in the last 4 years? The thought of hip-hop Madonna sounds desperate, lame, and certainly not worth any kind of wait what so ever. Ugh.
